Christo (1935-2020)
June 1st, 2020
(It amuses me to read that blog post now, just because the “everybody looks down all the time” thing is now much worse, because of cell phones — but it’s been true in New York for a long time.)
My mother admired Christo. I was going to say she was a fan of his work, but she admired both his art and his life and methods. She followed all of his projects with great interest, and I know that she went to see “The Gates” many times, wanting to experience it in different weather and at different times of the day.
